Jonathan B Clark

Jonathan B Clark, M.D., M.P.H., is a Clinical Professor at Baylor College of Medicine with dual appointments in the Department of Neurology and the Center for Space Medicine. His office is located at the Rice University Bioscience Research Collaborative in Houston, Texas.

Education includes an M.D. from Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (1980) and an M.P.H. from the University of Alabama (1992). He completed residency training in Internal Medicine and Neurosurgery at Naval Hospital Bethesda, with board certifications in Neurology (American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology) and Aerospace Medicine (American Board of Preventive Medicine).

Research focuses on aerospace medicine, with expertise in physiological adaptations to extreme environments. Key areas include intracranial pressure dynamics in microgravity, optic nerve sheath monitoring techniques, anesthesia protocols for space missions, and medical countermeasures for radiation exposure. His work bridges neurology and space exploration challenges.

Publications consistently address aerospace physiology and neurology, with recent work exploring stratospheric balloon physiology, G-force pathophysiology, and spaceflight medical operations. Research utilizes both human and porcine models to address physiological challenges in aviation and space environments.
